Book excerpt: Two powerhouse authors bring you a hilarious tale of one woman’s journey to find herself again. Ever have one of those days where life just plain sucks? Welcome to my last three months—ever since I caught my can’t-be-soon-enough ex-husband cheating with his paralegal. I’m thirty-five years old, and I’ve lost my NYC apartment, my job, my money, and frankly, my dignity. But the final heartache in the suck sandwich of my life? My great-aunt Maggie died. The only family member who’s ever gotten me. Even after death, though, she’s helping me get back up. She’s willed me the keys to a house in the burbs, of all places, and dared me to grab life by the family jewels. Well, I’ve got the vise grips already in hand (my ex should take note) and I’m ready to fight for my life again. Too bad that bravado only lasts as long as it takes to drive into Huckleberry Hills. And see the house. There are forty-seven separate HOA violations, and I feel them all in my bones. Honestly, I’m surprised no one’s “accidentally” torched the house yet. I want to, and I’ve only been standing in front of it for five minutes. But then my hot, grumpy neighbor tells me to mow the lawn first and I’m just...done. Done with men too sexy for their own good and done with anyone telling me what to do. First rule of surviving the burbs? There is nothing that YouTube and a glass of wine can’t conquer.

Download or read book Men on Strike written by Helen Smith and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American society has become anti-male. Men are sensing the backlash and are consciously and unconsciously going “on strike.” They are dropping out of college, leaving the workforce and avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates. The trend is so pronounced that a number of books have been written about this “man-child” phenomenon, concluding that men have taken a vacation from responsibility simply because they can. But why should men participate in a system that seems to be increasingly stacked against them? As Men on Strike demonstrates, men aren’t dropping out because they are stuck in arrested development. They are instead acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers. In addition, men are going on strike, either consciously or unconsciously, because they do not want to be injured by the myriad of laws, attitudes and hostility against them for the crime of happening to be male in the twenty-first century. Men are starting to fight back against the backlash. Men on Strike explains their battle cry.

As the sole caregiver for her father, who has early-onset Alzheimer’s, she’s pretty much responsible for everything. She has no time—or interest—in getting swept up in some dazzling romance. Not like her best friend, Annie, who literally wrote a rom-com that’s about to premiere in theaters across America . . . and happens to be inspired by Chloe and her cute but no-nonsense boss, Nick Velez. As the buzz for the movie grows, Chloe reads one too many listicles about why Nick is the perfect man, and now she can’t see him as anything but Reason #4: The scruffy-bearded hunk who’s always there when you need him. But unlike the romance Annie has written for them, Chloe isn’t so sure her own story will end in a happily-ever-after.

Download or read book Enlightenment Is Sexy written by Valerie Gangas and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living life from the INSIDE OUT is the only way to roll. There is a whole world inside of you waiting to be tapped into. Once you begin paying attention to your inner world (instead of non-stop focusing on trends, fashions and TV shows), once you start identifying what's working for you and what's not, once you clarify what you really want and understand that you have a choice in whether or not and HOW you manifest it, get ready for radical change to start happening! Because nothing short of a truly magical life is your birthright....and Enlightenment Is Sexy is your guide to living it! A few years ago, the book's author, Valerie Gangas, learned Transcendental Meditation and during her first meditation, she had what some people call an awakening: She began to see EVERYTHING about life differently than she had in the past. In her own words, it was a sudden and profound shift in perception, so much so that it became crystal clear that our INNER life is what generates ALL the juice, ALL the goodies, ALL the righteous experiences any of us have ever had and will ever have. And so Valerie started living in a completely new way-from the inside out. As a result, she can now play at creating a better existence every day... more and more richly rewarding life experiences (e.g. relationships, health, job, travel, studies) every day! And what she's found is that all of us-every single person on the planet-is WAY more radiant, attractive, and yes, sexy, when that inner life is lit up like a blazing sun! This, she says, is how to lead an enlightened, magical life! Indeed, wouldn't it be amazing to have such a strong sense of self that you effortlessly attract the perfect partner, an amazing job or whatever it is your heart has longed for, but has eluded you for what seems like your whole life? And what if that same, well-developed sense of who you are would naturally bring you more happiness than you ever dreamed of? According to Ms. Gangas, not only is all of that possible; it's your birthright!
